Well, it's Friday, and I thought it would be nice to end the week on a positive note. Perhaps Hell has frozen over and I'll see some pigs flying around tonight, but this email that I just got from the Obama campaign actually has a good apostrophe catastrophe.

Huh? A good apostrophe catastrophe? I didn't think that was possible, I guess there's a first time for everything. This shirt is kind of adorable. I just might have to buy one to wear to Celtics games.

Today is the one day of the year when I actually feel kind of bad for straight men. Without making any political statements, let me just say that witnessing all the cliches and materialism makes me more than a little queasy. I just tried to roll my eyes at yet another tacky Valentine's Day-related incident, and it actually hurt. I think Hallmark has given me ocular carpal tunnel syndrome or something.

Anyway, I thought this apostrophe catastrophe from Ken in Washington State was appropriate for today.

Ken reports that the arrow appears to be "pointing to a dark alley to the right. I wasn't going to check."
